2. To foster collaboration between nematologists particularly through the Society newsletter and through Symposia and other meetings;
3. To represent the views of nematologists to other bodies, organisations and governments.

These aims are advanced through organisation of biennial meetings and through distribution of the newsletter of the ESN – Nematology News – to members.

New Internal rules of ESN

As of October 9th, the ESN has obtained legal status in the Netherlands. As a part of this process the old ESN constitution, along with some changes that the governing board is proposing, has been incorporated into a set of "Internal Rules" that define how the ESN will operate. Members voted to approve these changes at the recent meeting in Brisbane. A copy of the internal rules document can be found here.The Articles of Association for the ESN can be found here.
